 Abstract

Dragon fruit, belonging to the Cactaceae family, encompasses two varieties, Hylocereus polyrhizus and Hylocereus undatus. This fruit is abundant in various antioxidants such as betalains, hydroxycinnamates, and flavonoids. These antioxidants play a crucial role in shielding cells from free radicals, thereby reducing the risk of chronic diseases and slowing down the aging process. Additionally, dragon fruit is rich in phyto albumins and vitamin C, renowned for their antioxidant properties, which contribute to tightening and improving the flexibility of the skin, while also imparting a radiant glow. Regular application of creams containing dragon fruit extract can effectively combat aging, and it is also beneficial in treating acne and soothing sunburn. This study aims to compare the antioxidant levels and activities in the pulps and peels of two dragon fruit species, Hylocereus undatus (white dragon fruit) and Hylocereus polyrhizus (red dragon fruit). The Total Phenolic Content (TPC) assay revealed that both species' peels had higher phenolic content than their pulps. Specifically, the phenolic content in H. undatus peels exceeded that of H. polyrhizus, whereas in the pulps, the reverse was observed. The 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assay indicated that the peels of both species exhibited greater radical scavenging activities compared to their pulps. Additionally, the ferrous ion chelating (FIC) assay demonstrated moderate metal ion chelating effects in both peels and pulps of both species when compared to EDTA. Overall, the findings suggest a significant relationship between Total Phenolic Content and primary antioxidant activities, highlighting the antioxidant potential of dragon fruit peels and pulps, and implying their potential utility in various applications.

 Abstract

Phishing attacks, designed to deceive users into divulging sensitive information by masquerading as trustworthy entities, are a significant threat in the digital landscape. Detecting phishing URLs (Uniform Resource Locators) is crucial to safeguarding online users and protecting sensitive data. Traditional approaches to phishing detection, often reliant on manual blacklisting and heuristic methods, struggle to keep pace with the rapidly evolving tactics of attackers. This study explores the application of machine learning techniques to improve the detection of phishing URLs, leveraging their ability to learn from data and identify patterns indicative of phishing activities.We propose a robust framework for phishing URL detection using machine learning algorithms, combining feature extraction techniques and classification models. Our methodology involves the extraction of key features from URLs, including lexical characteristics, domain-based features, and URL metadata. These features serve as inputs to various machine learning classifiers, including Logistic Regression, Support Vector Machines (SVM), Random Forest, and Gradient Boosting, among others.

 Abstract

Many models of development have been adopted in the world, the result of which we have got mixed results. The development paradigm adopted by most of the world today is not human-centered but economic-centered. Due to a lack of human-centered governance and economy, today humanity and nature are being exploited unlimitedly, due to which terrible environmental problems and economic inequality have emerged all over the world, which has put human life in danger. Today the world is not looking for a paradigm that can solve this grave crisis and make human development possible. So the question is how to balance the gap between nature and man? Today the world needs such a vision of development that is capable of providing physical prosperity to the entire human being as well as mental health, less harm to nature, sustainable, sustainable, and satisfying to human beings. Will the Indian Sanatan tradition be useful for solving these problems? In this chapter, adopting the Sanatan vision, we will look for a solution to today's contemporary problem by discussing the 'Integral Humanism Philosophy' propounded by Deendayal Upadhyaya. Will this eternal vision be an alternative to the solution of human development and governance? To answer all these questions, we need to read Deendayal Upadhyaya's Integral Humanism Philosophy, in which human beings are not integrated only as individuals and societies, but are ideal for human-centered development and governance.

 Abstract

In today's world women entrepreneurs play a significant role and have made vital contributions to economic growth and poverty reduction. In the traditional Indian culture, women were restricted to four walls. Notwithstanding, in modern India, they come out and take an interest in a wide range of activities including Entrepreneurship. Despite the fact that they are assuming a key function in the general public, however, their entrepreneurial capacity has not been appropriately tapped due to judgemental social orders. In India, business is mainly dominated by menfolk only but women have now realized the criticality of survival and the need of coming at par with men. They are standing for their rights, freedom, and equality in the business domain. The present study will analyse the women empowerment in India through Entrepreneurship
